If, as I suspect, the economy has weakened or, even if only the existing perception that the economy is week grows, the Republicans will be swept away in a tsunami of massive proportions.

It’s an AP story carried by Yahoo. Both leftist. What do you expect from them, the truth? The sad part is people who believe the MSM.
If the Conservatives cannot recapture the control of the GOP, or at least gain healthy and fair recognition, I think that it is time for traditional Conservatives to form a new party.

Luckily, we have a good conservative with a shot at the nomination; Fred Thompson. He’s not the ultra-conservative many here would like, but that kind of candidate would never get elected in the General, and they know it, but don’t want to admit it. He’s conservative enough for most conservatives, and not so scary that folks who generally won’t support a conservative WILL vote for him. Heck, he may even pull in some Democrats who can’t stand the thought of Her Heinous in the White House.
“A recent Gallup poll reported that 59 percent of those surveyed have an unfavorable impression of the Republican Party.”
That is worse than Hillary.
GOP brand is not popular, right now.
Internal dissention, name calling isn’t helping.
We shall see. I do not believe you are correct.
Untill the republicans prove they are conservative; RINOS can go crying back to NYC; I won’t vote for a Liberal (and they won’t get ANY money off me!).
THEY ? Who is THEY ? Polls are crap. Never have I ever been asked to participate in a poll from a pollster or the MSM.
They conduct a poll in a major city all yer gonna get is the DNC liberal welfare rats opinion and if this poll is true then even some of them are for the GOP.....
The only thing killing the GOP if at all is their pandering to the amnesty , gun grabbing , keep the hate alive , American hating ass-hats who consist only in the MSM’s live at five reports and seditious polidiots legislation.
Fence setting moderate conservatives need to stop shoveling rino sh*t to the sheeple and stop trying to save the world while they destroy our beloved republic.
And if you believe that childrens health care crap for one minute .....gheeeesh. That was nothing less than a bag of manure BS bill, placed on GW’s porch , set afire and they ran knowing full and well what the heck that was gonna do when he stomped it out........
>BUILD THE DARN FENCE.<
I think you are the closest of everyone so far but even you didn’t mention the 30 million illegal aliens walking our streets.
Bush sold the GOP down the river and hugged El Presidente Fox when he did it.
I live in a small city/town in the West and I have participated in political polls carried out by phone.
Also, for a few years my family was included in surveys about new tv shows. We were called and asked to turn our cable tv to a channel at a certain time, and then watched a pilot show before it appeared on the regular schedule. After the pilot was over, they called and did a phone survey about our opinion. They were interested in all family members opinions.
I don't vote for Democrats, and I don't vote for Republicans who want to be Democrats. If you think that the Rockefeller Republicans with the help of Independents can win anything, you're in for a major surprise.
Sorry, but you can't fool me on what happened to Santorum because I live in PA and I watched what Theresa Heinz and Soros' $ did to poison the Reagan Democrats against him. Took them 4 1/2 yrs. of daily articles in local papers flying under the MSM radar, AND the right candidate with a trusted name and a make-believe conservative record to do it.
Look for even bigger losses of House seats in '06 in PA because with the help of Bob Filner who is Chairman of VA committee, they are running a scam, sort of a daily crusade to undermine anybody running who is supportive of the war, the VA, veterans, or anything to do with the military. I'm sure they are doing their orchestrated effort in other states too, but I'm only aware of what goes on in my state. And they're doing it without the silly pink loons of Code Pink who would do nothing but offend people in my state.
I don’t believe it is anything other than most people want a change period. People will not plunk down hard earned money on a guaranteed looser.
